Nutritional epidemiology aims to link dietary exposures to chronic disease, but the instruments for evaluating dietary intake are inaccurate. One way to identify unreliable data and the sources of errors is to compare estimated intakes with the total energy expenditure (TEE). In this study, we used the International Atomic Energy Agency Doubly Labeled Water Database to derive a predictive equation for TEE using 6,497 measures of TEE in individuals aged 4 to 96 years.

- Doubly labeled water is the most reliable method for measuring total energy expenditure (TEE), but its accuracy can be affected by the isotope dilution space ratio (DSR).
- This study explored factors like age, sex, ethnicity, body composition, and geographical elevation to see how they influence DSR, using various statistical analysis methods.
- Results showed that while DSR decreased with age in individuals 60 and older, no significant effects were found from other variables, suggesting that previous estimates of TEE might be overestimating values for older individuals, especially those around 90 years old.
Introduction: In the Netherlands, bariatric surgery in adolescents is currently only allowed in the context of scientific research. Besides this, there was no clinical pathway for bariatric surgery in adolescents. In this paper, the development of a comprehensive clinical pathway for bariatric surgery in adolescents with severe obesity in the Netherlands is described.

However, high-quality evidence of its superiority over prolonged conservative treatment with multidisciplinary lifestyle intervention (MLI) is limited. This study investigated the efficacy and safety of bariatric surgery in adolescents without sufficient weight loss after MLI for severe obesity.
